Well holy moly, no wonder you beat me to 67! This is a solid presentation of what sounds to be like a fun way to spend the day. I was just telling someone the other day I would love to learn how to cook Indian food from someone's grandmother. This is just the Italian version of that. Nothing beats getting your hands dirty and learning from a straight up kitchen gangsta. DKS's Polish family still thinks I'm weird in my eating habits, as well, so I get you on the awkward "no thanks" side of the story. I still have yet to try making my own pasta, so your dry version still has my imaginary version beat. ;)
